Summary

The cystoscopy procedure may cause pain and anxiety in patients. Since cystoscopy causes more pain in men, studies on pain and anxiety during cystoscopy are more common in men than women. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of watching relaxing video during cystoscopy on the pain and anxiety levels of female patients.

Detailed description

Cystoscopy is a safe procedure with low risk of morbidity commonly used to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms such as hematuria, voiding disorders, irritant bladder symptoms, anatomical disorders. Patients experience pain and anxiety when cystoscope is inserted into the bladder. The various methods (drug or non-drug) are used for pain and anxiety during the cystoscopy. Although there are a lot of studies on male patients, there are limited studies evaluating pain severity in the female patients during urological procedures. In addition, there wasn't found any randomized controlled study for video use from non-drug methods to distract attention in these patients. Based on the study results in the literature, investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of watching relaxing video on the pain and anxiety levels of female patients during rigid cystoscopy.
